The works of Author C.L. Harmon
We build paths to avoid obstacles. We fight the brush, boulders and pitfalls to clear a way for ourselves and others to reach the destinations we seek. But when the expectation becomes that others will fight the obstacles and risk the dangers associated with clearing the path, new safe and secure paths remain hidden in the wilderness because though expectation belongs to us all, progress toward it is our responsibility.

Leave a CommentBe a man with the dirt of labor on your hands, not the blood of those in bondage. Be a woman of strength, not of servitude. Bring a spark of hope to the future, leave the ashes of despair in the past. Stand tall, give those who cower an example. Be filled with joy, let sorrow hunger in the belly. Lead when compelled, follow the lead when your intuition compels. And always listen to your heart as it alone speaks for the soul.

Leave a CommentToday is the day you define yourself. Now is when you take what was yesterday and that which you desire for tomorrow, create a new opportunity and breathe life into any legacy you choose. Other’s choices affect you for moments, but a lifetime identity is only affected by you. It is better to leave a blank epithet on stone than one carved in the regret of who you wish you had been.

Leave a CommentSorrow swims deep, to depths we are never supposed to go. It takes us down until we are absent of breath and light. We sometimes stumble so far into the abyss, directions are useless as we become tangled within the darkness. But hope is in the light which doesn’t know the darkness and the shallow which does not fear the deep. When you are hope, you are someone else’s angel reaching in to pull them from the abyss…and that’s the power to which heaven has afforded you.

Leave a CommentThe very essence of our existence is to experience. Everything in our world is connected through that we experience. And at times, it’s painful. But you can only get experience through life. It’s not available anywhere else. We become a unique entity because we experience, not because we exist. We are actually created in phases. In the beginning, we are born with the tools to experience, then evolve as we learn and yet continually become someone different through our experiences. So never assume your life is at a standstill. Your life is constantly in motion and creating you one experience at a time.

Leave a CommentOne day you will realize that everything you know will no longer seem worrisome. There will be a changing of your heart and mind that seems to have come out of nowhere. Your mind will see in new directions and your heart will follow because it will be compelled. And thought it’s the unknown, you will explore it without fear. This is how we get from there to here. It’s called growth. And it is the gift you receive for taking all of frightening steps you took into the tomorrows when you felt you had nothing left to offer them.

Leave a CommentWhen the odds are stacked against you, win anyway. When your heart is torn out, pick up a needle and thread. When you’ve been wronged, allow being right to be your peace. When alone, get to know yourself. When you’re down and out, build up and move in. When everything is out of control, control yourself. When you’re lost, let your destiny find you. And when all else fails, rest assured that you are not seeing all.

Leave a CommentChaos is not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes life just needs to pull everything from the closets and drawers, clutter up the floors with it and lay out in piles so it can sort out everything you have been hoarding, collecting and storing. This happens when it’s time for you to move to a new place in your life without all the baggage that has kept you in a place which no longer has purpose for you.

Leave a CommentThe heart holds five elements: light, love, darkness, hate, and peace. Each are molded into human creation with purposeful precision for the intention of bringing about understanding. A rich man does not see as a poor man, nor does a poor man see as a rich one. We only see what we are and not what we are not. And so, we must be all. We are the light. Not to see, but to be the beacon. We are love. Not because we love, because we are a part of what creates it. We are darkness, not because we are evil, because we are the example of what occurs when the light is shun. We are hate. Not because we are void of love, because we are inherently affected by the absence of it. We are peace. Not because we seek peace, because we transform in to it through acts of forgiveness.
